***Hello from El Paso, Texas, the dirty south***

[blue diamond]

Hello everyone, I am a newbie here obviously, I am from El Paso, Texas, I'm a over the road trucker, I drive from coast to coast I go by Blue Diamond cause thats what they call me on the CB radio. I am planning on building a horizontal reverse flow smoker made from an old propane tank which I took out of my old ford pick-up, I will try an post lots along the way of this build, anyways I'm glad I found this site as I've been prowling around it for a few months now. My tank is 48" long, 20" wide and 63" in circumferance, I'd like to add a square firebox to it.
